Training today was slow to start. But in my experience you can't force it, or you'll just end up hurting yourself...

Extra z and foam rolling

Power clean: 225x1x3

Sldl. 130lbsx8/8x4
Press 88lbsx4/4x4

Lots of ring work
Renegade rows
Ab wheel
Call it a day. Feeling good.

It should be noted that I did a bunch of getups and windmills during my warm up, as I usually do.

Front Squat: 48kg x 10 x 3

Sled Push/Drag for 10:00

This was really hard, my forearms exploded about halfway through and it took me about an hour but I can't be too sure. Very tough. Finished with some sled drags.

Training update

Last week was a deload week and it felt great to lift easy weights, I bent a lot of steel and tore a couple phone books and hit the heavy bag a lot, but nothing to write home about.
This week I am supposed to have a muay thai fight on friday so I am still going to cut back on the training:
Yesterday I did a lot of Get-Ups and double snatches. Finished with some Long Cycle with a pair of 32's for 15 sets of 5, with 1:00 rest between sets.

More heavy bag today, nothing heavy this week.

Bodyweight row
+20lbs x 12x3

Sweet PR today

Hit a nice rep PR in the deadlift today.
Warmed up with Power Snatches and Overhead squats

Deadlift:
395 x 5
415 x 3
460 x 5 *PR

Bulg Split Squat
95 x 8/8 x 3
Bodyweight row on rings
+40lbs x 8 x 3

Played around with some one arm snatches and windmills with 95, 115, and 135. Which after all that was probably not a good idea but I managed to nail a 1 arm snatch with 135 and then grab a 32kg bell 2 hands anyhow style.

Finished with a smoker and then heavy bag
1:00 battling ropes
10 burpees
5 rounds

Deadlifts felt so money, I will hit triple bodyweight this year.
